Artichokes have been a part of Italian cuisine for thousands of years, especially in the south of Italy, Napoli (Naples) where they were brought from their origin Arabia.

Artichoke is not only a delicious vegetable but also wonderful for your health. They are very high in

fiber, potassium, calcium and iron. It is known to positively help poor liver function (thus helping to lower the blood cholesterol), arteriosclerosis, gout, supports the treatment of hepatitis and improves the gall secretions. It can slightly lower the blood sugar, improve the appetite and digestion, is diuretic and may help some migraine conditions (most especially those caused by toxins in the blood). So what we are waiting for?

Mound over ant type of sautéed flaky fish as trout or cod. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Put a healthy tablespoon under the skin of the chicken breast, top with additional pesto and parmesan cheese and bake.

Use as a condiment for a grilled panini.

Make an Artichoke Pesto Pizza. Coat pizza dough with the pesto and mozzarella cheese and bake in a hot oven.

BUON APPETITO!!!

This deep and robust flavor artisan made pesto is made in small batches using Sundried Tomatoes, Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and Italian herbs. It not only has endless uses giving a unique taste to your daily dishes but also a wonderful kick and vibrant color to them. Here are some mouth-watering ideas that I found for get you going with our new A&A Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto:

ANTIPASTI

Spread it on crackers, or focaccia as an appetizer.

Use it as a topping for bruschetta or on toasted baguette slices for crostini. It makes an ideal pair with goat cheese. (try a goat cheese & sundried tomatoes bruschetta as shown in the picture)

Spread on your ciabatta bread on your next panini. I love it on my turkey or chicken panini together with some arugula, or in my goat cheese and arugula panini.

An ideal sauce for tossing on freshly cooked pasta, especially linguine or spaghetti.

Add a few tablespoons into your freshly cooked rice.

Add some to your baked or mashed potatoes for a delightful twist.

Spread some on the top of your grilled chicken.

Drizzle some over your fresh salads.

Brush with a bit of pesto over your shrimps before grilling them.

Savoring the flavors of Italy has never been so easy with A&A Alta Cucina Italia products.
